About Me

Founding member of pop groups The Margarets and Number Seven Deli (who, between them, have been nominated to three Norwegian Grammy-awards, sold the equivalent of three gold discs and released three of the most critically acclaimed albums in the country. The Margarets' debut single Alain Delon/Rubber Rubbish is the most well received release in Norway ever). Freelance producer, guitarist and songwriter (Robert Post, Frank Hammersland, Dylan Mondegreen). Musical arranger/conductor for theatre and film (Hans Petter Molands "Gymnaslærer Pedersen" and Frode Grytten/Lasse Kolsruds feel-good stage sensation "Bikubesong"). Co-founder of record label Breakwater Records (Seasick Steve, The Margarets, Number Seven Deli) and the spectacular all-analogue studio Ocean Sound Recordings by the North Sea's edge on the west coast of Norway.
